St. Martin's Parade

St. Martin's Parade with the children and their lanterns. So much fun. #traditions #germany, a photo by rachaelhansen on Flickr.

Every November, the city celebrates St. Martin, a good samaritan, by making lanterns and parading through the street after a St. Martin impersonator, ending at a bonfire.

All the children from the boys' Montessori Schüle created wonderful lanterns and we all got to participate in the parade. It was the perfect way to start off the holiday season.
